09/02/2018

Speaking at the end of his Wednesday General Audience, the Pope noted that the XXIII Winter Olympics are being inaugurated in the South Korean city of Pyeongchang on Friday, with the participation of teams from 92 countries.

Earlier, North Korea confirmed that the sister of leader Kim Jong-un, Kim Yo-jong, will become the nation's highest-ranked official to visit the South when she attends the opening ceremony.

"From here at Yokota Air Base and beyond, we are ready for any eventuality", said Pence, adding that the U.S.is ready for whatever move North Korea may make next.

Pence said on Tuesday that while he would not rule out meeting North Korean officials while in South Korea, his message to those officials "will be the same: And that is that North Korea must once and for all abandon its nuclear weapons program and ballistic missile ambitions".

The South Korean presidential office on Wednesday said it is "significant" that Kim Yo Jong was included in the delegation.

"Let me sayPresident Trump has said he always believes in talking, but I haven't requested any meeting", Pence told reporters on Monday as he departed for his six-day trip to Asia.

Pence says the goal of his trip is to ensure the North can't "hijack" the games, and his schedule includes symbolic events created to highlight North Korea's human rights abuses and nuclear program.
